Sullivan Expedition

The Sullivan Expedition occurred between June to September of 1779 and was a direct response to the actions of the Iroquois Native American tribes. Around that time to protect their land many of the Iroquois would attack forts and kill everyone in sight.

George Washington gave Sullivan the order to stop the problem. In the process Sullivan raided as many Native American tribes as he could find. He didn't limit it to just the Iroquois he attacked any and every Native American in firing range. He destroyed 40 villages today and showed the same acts of brutality that the Native Americans did to them.

While this was supposed to be an act to stop the raids it actually made things worse because other tribes started to attack as well thus making the problem worse instead of better. It is rumored that the Native Americans started calling Washington the "Town Destroyer" because of the Sullivan Expedition.

While no direct mention of this event was made it was implied that this was what was ordered by Washington when Haytham revealed to Connor that Washington made an order to attack his village.Spoiler - Click to see/hide
